Venom had an AWESOME day learning from @thek9papi. For his first session, he showed so much potential, and I’m excited to begin working on this sport with him. There’s so much to learn but we’re ready to soak in all the knowledge we can. 🧠

My amazing breeder (not of Venom) and FRIEND @blindsidekennels caught this ADORABLE footage of me at @disneysprings working my service dog during a break from his super helpful job. (Excuse his very Malinois outburst of joy) While my health is pretty well managed I still have bad days. I’ve had two autonomic seizures this past weekend and Venom actually alerted to one today for the first time ever. I’ll be watching to see if he continues to exhibit this behavior so I can shape and reward it for more reliability. As our bond grows, he keeps managing to amaze me. 🥰

✨ Personal Protection Dogs ✨
We got to witness some BADA$$ dogs during @johnk9_llc Haunted House Protection and Dock Diving event. 🎃 We had some hiccups with start times this weekend, and we are so grateful to everyone who was patient with us as the recent hurricanes set us back in preparation time.
Truly an amazing experience, and I cannot wait for next year’s haunted house. 🏚️👻💀 We hope to see you guys there!

Venom and I have only been to one protection training event in our lives together, and it was when he was 8 months old. We got the AMAZING opportunity to participate in @johnk9_llc Haunted House and I was over the moon thrilled that he decided to bite.
I got constructive criticism to teach me how to better handle my dog and learned so much.
Add in getting to witness the AMAZING dogs I got to witness who have incredible spirit and skill.
Today goes down as one of the best days I’ve ever had. I cannot wait for day #2. 💕

Just a reminder to use the tools you have to train your dogs. 😘 • #dogtrainer #tricks #enjoyyourdog
This is Orion’s TKN (Novice Trick Dog) submission. Pending approval this will be his first title. I’m so proud of my sweet boy!! 💕 #AKC #TKN #Trickdog #Miniamericanshepherd #babydog
@shepherdslanternherding never ceases to amaze me with the awesomeness they’re able to bring out of my dog and myself. ✨ After training for roughly a •year• and building Orion’s confidence in the round pen he’s developing a great understanding of his job as a herding breed. I look forward to these trips weeks in advance if not simply for the pure JOY 🤩 it brings him. I love every moment, even when it’s blisteringly hot and I’ve had to abandon my shoes. 👟

A #Wild #BabyDog out here learning how to #Herd #sheep @shepherdslanternherding . We drive #4hours round trip for these #lessons but they’re very much worth it. #Orion has been coming to Leslie since he was about #9weeks old. He will be #ONE in just a couple of weeks and I’ve loved every minute building his #confidence and watching him #grow and have #fun with #livestock. We’ve got a few more sessions of confidence building before we transition to adding more structure surrounding this job but he’s made such #AWESOME #Progress!
Working on our handling skills at @uppersuncoastdogs in Clearwater! 💕 #AKC #conformation #miniamericanshepherd #handlingskills #dogtraining
